<h1>Sizing controls on documents</h1>
<p>You can size text fields, images, rectangles, and other controls. You 
 can resize t by dragging it or by specifying its height and width. Steps 
 to size a single control or multiple controls are below. If you resize 
 multiple controls at one time, they can be uniformly sized.</p>
<h2>To size a single control</h2>
<ol type="1" class="whs1">
	
<li class=p><p>Open the document in <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Design 
 </B></span>or <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Editable Mode</B></span>.</p></li>
	
<li class=p><p>Select a control and do one of the following: </p></li>
</ol>
<ul><ul>
<li style="list-style: disc;" type=disc class=p><p>Drag any of 
 its sizing handles to its new size. </p></li>

 <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>SHIFT</B></span> while pressing the <span 
 style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Up</B></span>, <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Down</B></span>,

 the control and select <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Properties and 
 Formatting</B></span>. From the left, select <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Layout</B></span>. 
 Then define the size properties for the control:</p></li>
		<ul>
<li style="list-style: square;" type=square class=p><p><span 
 style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Width</B></span>: sets the width of the control. 
 It is not available for section headers/footers. </p></li>
			<ul type="circle" class="whs2">
				
<li class=p><p><span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Fixed at</B></span><span>:</span> 
 The width does not change from the set size. It is not available for sections, 
 panel stacks, or selectors.</p></li>
				
<li class=p><p><span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>100%</B></span>: 
 This sets the item's width to that of the section. This is used for lines 
 and rectangles only. It is not available for sections, panel stacks, or 
 selectors.</p></li>
				
<li class=p><p><span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Fit to 
 contents</B></span>: The width expands to the width of the item. It is not 
 available for sections, panel stacks, text fields, or selectors.</p></li>

 View Mode. It is not available for sections or panel stacks. </p></li>
			</ul>
			
<li style="list-style: square;" type=square class=p><p><span 
 style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Length</B></span>: These options are available 
 only for lines; they determine whether the length of a line is dynamic. 
 </p></li>
			<ul type="circle" class="whs2">
